[wow.....i'd give up on something if it took me that long. i did it in one day, i think it took about 4 hours but i'm not sure cause i kept getting interupted and having to go attend to mom duties so i did most of it at night after bed time. there is a picture tutorial on here that i refered to a couple times during the process that helped a lot.]

I guess I am a bit stubborn, part of my problem is I have never been good at following a pattern. Always get them back to front. I can only sew once a fortnight which is also why it has taken me so long. Will get to go sew twice this week so might just get it finished this time. Have seen the tute on here and it looks good just doesn't quite explain it to me. One day that light bulb is going to go off and I will "get it"! :lol: Until I took up quilting recently i had never sewn.

You need to purchase it. Do an internet search for Bow Tuck Tote.

once you get one done and see how awesome you did, you'll remember how you did it. i'm making a whole bunch at once right now and other than checking the measurements at the begining i haven't had to refer to the instructions. post a pic when your done. i should have the 5 i'm doing right now done all at once in a couple days. then it's back to christmas quilting.

Very pretty fabric! You did a great job on your Bow Tuck. They are such a cool tote.
